Some of the greatest and most memorable movie quotes of all time were completely unplanned. Don't believe us? Take a look at 20 of our favorites below and see for yourself:
1. Annie Hall

Woody Allen's famous sneeze as his character, Alvy Singer, picks up a box of cocaine at a party, and after finding out that it's $2,000 an ounce, he asks what the appeal is...before sneezing all of the powder away into its owner's face. The sneeze was not scripted, believe it or not. The moment tested well with audiences and the other actors in the scene reacted so perfectly to it that Allen decided to keep it.
2. Titanic

Perhaps one of the film's most memorable lines, Leonardo DiCaprio's feeling of invincibility would never have been captured had he not ad-libbed the line, "I'm king of the world!" Titanic has other improvised moments as well, like the scene where Jack teaches Rose to spit and when Rose spits in Cal's face.
3. Being John Malkovich
coed.com
Though this moment is contested somewhat, we still love the story. A few extras allegedly snuck some beer onto the set to make the most of long hours of filming. One such extra, who was (may or may not have been) supposed to throw something at actor John Malkovich's head from a passing vehicle, shouted "think fast," making the scene even funnier. Rumor has it that because of the line's inclusion, the extra had to receive a generous pay raise, all because of a drunken addition to the movie.
4. Blade Runner

As Blade Runner, a film about a bounty hunter seeking androids to "retire," reaches its conclusion, its main character, Rick Deckard, is saved by the android he is supposed to kill. Right before preparing to die, the android, Roy Batty, gives a monologue reflecting on his past experiences. Though the monologue was indeed scripted, actor Rutger Hauer added the beautiful phrase, "like tears in rain."
5. Taxi Driver

The script said "Travis talks to himself in the mirror." Robert De Niro took care of the rest. Because of this, we're left with one of the best lines in movie history, one of the greatest performances of all time, and the best idea for a theme party ever.
6. Dumb and Dumber
gifsoup.com
The original script featured the titular idiots to argue over jelly beans in order to test the nerves of the hitman they unknowingly picked up as a hitchhiker. Since this is a movie with Jim Carrey and Jeff Daniels, it evolved into something altogether different. The most annoying sound in the world was, for better or for worse, entirely improvised.
7. Good Will Hunting
GIPHY/mattybing1025.tumblr.com
Robin Williams received his first and only Oscar for his dramatic role in Good Will Hunting. You may be able to take Robin Williams out of the comedy, but you can't keep the comedy out of him, and thus, in the midst of a pivotal scene in the movie, Williams broke into an unplanned story about his wife's flatulence. Matt Damon's uncontrollable laughter is genuine, as are the moments the camera shakes because of the cameraman's laughter. That's a magical movie moment.
8. Goodfellas
picslist.com
The most memorable moment of Martin Scorsese's 1990 mobster movie is easily Joe Pesci's refusal to be called funny. This line was allegedly ad-libbed and inspired by a real incident where Pesci called a not-very-pleasant gangster funny.
9. Star Wars: Episode V - The Empire Strikes Back
rhube.tumblr.com
Hardcore Star Wars fans may know this bit already: the famous Han Solo moment where he tells Princess Leia "I know" wasn't scripted. The line was originally written as "I love you too," but didn't seem to fit into character. Harrison Ford suggested they change it to something a little more in line with Han Solo's personality, and thus, the greatest response to "I love you" was born.
10. Pretty Woman
GIPHY/peculiargroove.tumblr.com
In a gloriously unscripted moment, Richard Gere's character was supposed to present Julia Roberts with a stunning diamond necklace, but instead playfully snapped the bling box closed. The unplanned move, and Roberts' perfect reaction to it, was so honest and fit the film so well, director Garry Marshall kept it in the finished version.
11. Raiders of the Lost Ark
taringa.net
The epic sword fight that was scheduled for this scene (or perhaps it was a whip vs. sword situation) was ignored entirely in favor of this easier-to-film scene. The moment, when Indiana Jones just nonchalantly pulls out his pistol and does away with the swordsman, wasn't scripted. Spielberg agreed to do it to make filming easier for Harrison Ford, who was feeling a bit under the weather at the time. Thus, movie history was born.
12. Zoolander
luisllamas.tumblr.com
After David Duchovny's character explains to Ben Stiller's Derek Zoolander why male models have been behind every political assassination of the last 200 years, Stiller forgot the line he was supposed to stay in true Zoolander fashion, so he just repeated his previous line, "Why male models?" This prompted Duchovny's equally funny ad-lib, "Are you serious? I just told you that a moment ago..."
13. The Godfather
perezhilton.com
The Godfather has a scene where Peter Clemenza is heading out to whack Paulie, but before he does, his wife asks him to pick up some cannolis. While the scene following Paulie's death was originally scripted as just "Leave the gun," Clemenza added a bit of humor and continuity to the film by adding the second part.
14. The Shining
rebloggy.com
Stanley Kubrick's iconic adaptation of the Stephen King classic features the ad-libbed line "Here's Johnny!" Jack Nicholson improvised this line after chopping his way through the door and sticking his face in. The quote, referencing Johnny Carson's immensely popular late night show's introduction, added a bit of humor to an incredibly terrifying moment. It also, strangely, made the moment way creepier too.
15. Jaws
motherjones.com
Really, though, there was nothing else to be said. After seeing the shark for the first time, this unscripted moment was the only logical reaction a person could have. And now it's legendary.
16. The 40-Year-Old Virgin, Knocked Up
moviefancentral.com
The extremely memorable, easy-to-imitate moments from both of these films were ad-libbed entirely by stars Seth Rogen and Paul Rudd. Director Judd Apatow had enough faith in both comedians to allow them to go on for several minutes in an unedited clip. The scenes may get a little annoying, but they are undeniably funny.
17. Midnight Cowboy
imoviequotes.com
Legend has it that this NYC cab ignored the indications that a movie was shooting on this street and drove down anyway. Dustin Hoffman's brilliant reaction was genuine and in character, and the rest is history.
18. Casablanca
GIPHY
Arguably the most iconic line in the entire film, this one was ad-libbed by Humphrey Bogart during filming. Apparently, it's something he would say to Ingrid Bergman while teaching her poker between takes.
19. The Silence of the Lambs
GIPHY/reddit.com
While the line about eating a census taker's liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti may have been in the script (as well as the book), the terrifying slurping hiss Anthony Hopkins lets out next was certainly not. It was left in the film because, hello, it's totally the creepiest thing a cannibal could do after discussing a meal.
20. Caddyshack
GIPHY/seen-on-the-screen.tumblr.com
Bill Murray, as surely everyone knows, can do literally anything. He's the greatest. Clearly director Harold Ramis knew that too -- the script for Caddyshack featured a scene where Murray's character Carl emulates a kid announcing his fantasy sports moment. Murray simply asked for four rows of mums, and boom! Movie magic.

Comediennes Tina Fey and Amy Poehler have signed up to lend their likenesses and voices to the upcoming New York Spring Spectacular show starring legendary dance troupe The Rockettes. The multi-media musical production will also feature video cameos from the likes of 50 Cent, Whoopi Goldberg, Bella Thorne, John Leguizamo, Martha Stewart and Donald Trump, while Nashville actors Laura Benanti and Derek Hough are set to take to the stage for each Radio City Music Hall show. The production begins in the Big Apple next month (Mar15).

Funnyman Billy Crystal offered up his second TV tribute to a beloved icon in as many months on Thursday (25Sep14) when he honoured retiring baseball legend Derek Jeter.
The life-long New York Yankees fan's recorded video homage to the team's captain aired on U.S. sports news show SportsCenter on ESPN as Jeter was preparing to make his final appearance as a Yankee in the Big Apple.
Crystal said, "My grandmother said there are three things you can always count on: death, taxes and Derek Jeter. Last week was the final time I saw Derek play in person. He turned on a fastball and ripped it deep into the left field seats... He ran around the bases. This was the first home run he'd hit in the stadium this season. I wish I knew what was going on in his mind... He probably just took it in his stride and started thinking of his next at bat... I met with Derek after the game... 'Hey Willy', he said - it's a nickname my high school coach called me that Derek recalled me telling him about in 1998. We talked for a few minutes, like players. We smiled again and I sensed he wanted to go before I said something sad. We hugged goodbye and it was gone... We've had a very special relationship; (former Yankees manager) Joe Torre used to have me work out with the Yankees during the great years - even before World Series games... Derek saw that I could still play and he took infield (practice) with me many times. He never treated me like a celebrity. I was his teammate. To watch him on the field from the stands or on television is one thing; to experience the speed, the skill, the joy he had of playing on the field was like running with wild horses; it's exhilarating." The funnyman concluded, "It's almost over folks. Take a good last look. This is a baseball player."
Crystal can officially call himself a former team-mate of Jeter's after signing a one-day contract to mark his 60th birthday in March, 2008. The comedian batted for the Yankees in a spring training game against the Pittsburgh Pirates.
Baseball superstar Jeter's final regular season game ever will come on Sunday (28Sep14) when the Yankees complete a three-game series in Boston, Massachusetts against longtime rivals the Red Sox.
The sporting tribute came a month after Crystal delivered a touching send-off to late pal Robin Williams at the Emmy Awards.

The death of Pink Martini drummer Derek Rieth has been ruled a suicide. The 43-year-old percussionist was found dead at his home in Portland, Oregon on Wednesday night (20Aug14), and the state's medical examiner has now concluded the musician died from a self-inflicted gunshot wound to the head.
The band's shows at Oregon Zoo on Friday (22Aug14) and Saturday (23Aug14) went ahead as planned without Rieth, and the group dedicated the performances to the late star.
Pink Martini posted a message on the band's Facebook.com page prior to the first concert assuring fans they would play the shows in their bandmate's honour, writing, "Thank you all for your kind words and support. Derek would want nothing more than for the show to go on. We’ll see you tonight and tomorrow at the zoo."
Rieth's death comes just weeks after the band was inducted into the Hollywood Bowl's Hall of Fame in June (14).

There's nothing better than an instantly quotable movie line. Some of the funniest movies in cinema history have been released since 2000, and they have given us iconic phrases that we continue to quote with our friends and family. To pay tribute to the ones that make us laugh the loudest, below are 21 of the funniest movie quotes of the 21st century.
Zoolander
Derek Zoolander: “If there is anything that this horrible tragedy can teach us, it's that a male model's life is a precious, precious commodity. Just because we have chiseled abs and stunning features, it doesn't mean that we too can't not die in a freak gasoline fight accident.”
Mean Girls
Damian: “Glenn Coco? FOUR for you, Glenn Coco! You go, Glenn Coco.”
Anchorman: The Legend of Ron Burgundy
Ron Burgundy: “This is your doctor. I have your pregnancy report here, and guess what? You got knocked up.”
Superbad
Seth: “I'm over here in my unit, isolated and alone, eating my terrible tasting food, and I have to look over at that. That looks like the most fun I've ever seen in my entire life, and it's B.S. — excuse my language. I'm just saying that I wash and dry; I'm like a single mother. Look, we all know home-ec is a joke — no offense — it's just that everyone takes this class to get an A, and it's bulls**t — and I'm sorry. I'm not putting down your profession, but it's just the way I feel. I don't want to sit here, all by myself, cooking this s**tty food — no offense — and I just think that I don't need to cook tiramisu. Am I going to be a chef? No. There's three weeks left of school, give me a f**king break! I'm sorry for cursing.”
Walk Hard: The Dewey Cox Story
Edith: “What about my dreams?”Dewey Cox: “Edith I told you I can't build your candy house! It will fall apart, the sun will melt the candy, it won't work!”

Finding Nemo
Dory: “I shall call him Squishy and he shall be mine and he shall be my Squishy. Come on, Squishy Come on, little Squishy.”
Lost in Translation
Bob: “Is that everything? It seemed like he said quite a bit more than that.”
Knocked Up
Doorman: “You old, she pregnant. Can't have a bunch of old pregnant b**ches running around. That's crazy, I'm only allowed to let in five percent black people. He said that, that means if there's 25 people here I get to let in one and a quarter black people. So I gotta hope there's a black midget in the crowd.”
The Hangover
Alan: “You guys might not know this, but I consider myself a bit of a loner. I tend to think of myself as a one-man wolf pack. But when my sister brought Doug home, I knew he was one of my own. And my wolf pack... it grew by one. So there... there were two of us in the wolf pack... I was alone first in the pack, and then Doug joined in later. And six months ago, when Doug introduced me to you guys, I thought, 'Wait a second, could it be?' And now I know for sure, I just added two more guys to my wolf pack. Four of us wolves, running around the desert together, in Las Vegas, looking for strippers and cocaine. So tonight, I make a toast!”
Wedding Crashers
Mrs. Kroeger: “You shut your mouth when you’re talking to me!”
Dodgeball: A True Underdog Story
White Goodman: “There's no reason we need to be shackled by the strictures of the employee-employer relationship. Unless you're into that sort of thing. In which case, I got some shackles in the back. I'm just kidding. But seriously, I've got 'em.”
Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan
Borat: “Very nice, very nice! How much?”

Actually make it Office Max — I have my eye on a label maker. We did not have sex. I let you fondle my chest, and it was a glorious moment for you. Unmatched by anything you have heretofore experienced... including cake."
21 Jump Street
Jenko: “Look, it obviously starts with... you have the right to remain silent...”Schmidt: [Whispering] “You have the right to an attorney."Jenko: “You have the right to remain... an attorney."Deputy Chief Hardy: “Did you just say you have the right to be an attorney?”Schmidt: “You do have the right to be an attorney if you want to.”
Best in Show
Harlan Pepper: “I used to be able to name every nut that there was. And it used to drive my mother crazy, because she used to say, ‘Harlan Pepper, if you don't stop naming nuts...’ And the joke was that we lived in Pine Nut, and I think that's what put it in my mind at that point. So she would hear me in the other room, and she'd just start yelling. I'd say, ‘Peanut. Hazelnut. Cashew nut. Macadamia nut.’ That was the one that would send her into going crazy. She'd say, ‘Would you stop naming nuts!’ And Hubert used to be able to make the sound, he couldn't talk, but he'd go ‘rrrawr rrawr’ and that sounded like 'macadamia nut.' Pine nut, which is a nut, but it's also the name of a town. Pistachio nut. Red pistachio nut. Natural, all natural white pistachio nut.”
The Devil Wears Prada
Miranda Priestly: "Is it impossible to find a lovely, slender, female paratrooper? Am I reaching for the stars here? Not really."

It's officially the end of an era for baseball fans everywhere. New York Yankees short stop Derek Jeter announced on Wednesday that he plans to retire after the 2014 season, which means that it's only a matter of time before the 13-time All Star is inducted into the Hall of Fame and, more importantly, before someone in Hollywood starts shopping around a biopic based on the Yankee legend. After all, Jeter's considered to be the greatest player of his generation, he has more than enough name recognition to grab audiences' attention, and moviegoers generally tend to love sports movies, so clearly this idea is a home run. Or is it?
Is it possible that Jeter is too boring to be the subject of a major Hollywood biopic? All films need a conflict, and for biopics, those conflicts usually come from their subjects overcoming seemingly insurmountable odds and unbeatable obstacles in order to emerge victorious at the end. This is especially true of sports biopics, which rely on this formula to produce a film that is inspiring and uplifting. 42 was a film about Jackie Robinson overcoming institutional racism in order to become the first black player in the MLB. The Rookie had Jim Morris prove his critics wrong by starting his professional baseball career for the Tampa Bay Rays at the age of 35, an age when most players start considering retirement. Moneyball featured the manager of the Oakland As changing the way franchises put together their teams in order to turn a mediocre lineup into a winning team. Even The Sandlot featured the kids overcoming their fear of The Beast in order to rescue Smalls' stepdad's autographed ball.
By contrast, Jeter's never really had to conquer any insurmountable odds. He's overcome some terrible injuries in order to get back in the game, but none of them were career-derailing or character-defining. He may have broken plenty of records, but he hasn't really broken down any barriers during his time on the field. He became the best through hard work, dedication and talent, and while he's considered an inspiration to an entire generation of ball players, it's not really a juicy enough story to structure a film around. There have been plenty of games or seasons in which the Yankees made a major comeback, but none of them are particularly memorable events. And if Jeter hasn't overcome any major obstacles in order to become the best, where will the film get its plot?
Hollywood would even struggle to find substance for a film from Jeter's life off of the field. Unlike many of his contemporaries, he's managed to avoid any major scandals, and he's steered clear of the steroid conflicts entirely. If someone were to make a film about, say, Alex Rodriguez, they would likely choose to take a more sensational route, and focus on the doping scandals that have clouded his career. However, if they wanted to take a similar approach to Jeter's life, the best they would be able to come up with is his tabloid-friendly love life. But even though he's dated some of the biggest starlets in Hollywood, all of those relationships seem to have ended amicably, and without becoming the focus of any gossip columns.
The last time Jeter made the press for anything even remotely approaching the debauchery we associate with sports stars was 2002, when he was chastised by Yankees owner George Steinbrenner for staying out too late at a birthday party. Clearly, he's no Jordan Belfort. These days, he mostly makes headlines over contract disputes or injury reports, neither of which would make for a particularly riveting entertainment experience — not even House of Cards could make negotiations seem particularly interesting, and their version at least included people throwing bricks through windows. There's no doubt that Jeter is one of the greatest baseball players of all time, and he will go down in history as a Yankee legend. He's a skilled player and a capable leader, who has managed to win over millions of fans through both his talent and charisma both on and off the field, but all of that still doesn't make him interesting enough to be the subject of a biopic.
So, Hollywood, let's just let Jeter settle for being one of the greats, and we can revisit the idea of re-releasing The Sandlot in theaters. That way, everyone's a winner.

When we last left our heroes, they had conquered all opponents in the 74th Annual Hunger Games, returned home to their newly refurbished living quarters in District 12, and fallen haplessly to the cannibalism of PTSD. And now we're back! Hitching our wagons once again to laconic Katniss Everdeen and her sweet-natured, just-for-the-camera boyfriend Peeta Mellark as they gear up for a second go at the Capitol's killing fields.
But hold your horses — there's a good hour and a half before we step back into the arena. However, the time spent with Katniss and Peeta before the announcement that they'll be competing again for the ceremonial Quarter Quell does not drag. In fact, it's got some of the film franchise's most interesting commentary about celebrity, reality television, and the media so far, well outweighing the merit of The Hunger Games' satire on the subject matter by having Katniss struggle with her responsibilities as Panem's idol. Does she abide by the command of status quo, delighting in the public's applause for her and keeping them complacently saturated with her smiles and curtsies? Or does Katniss hold three fingers high in opposition to the machine into which she has been thrown? It's a quarrel that the real Jennifer Lawrence would handle with a castigation of the media and a joke about sandwiches, or something... but her stakes are, admittedly, much lower. Harvey Weinstein isn't threatening to kill her secret boyfriend.
Through this chapter, Katniss also grapples with a more personal warfare: her devotion to Gale (despite her inability to commit to the idea of love) and her family, her complicated, moralistic affection for Peeta, her remorse over losing Rue, and her agonizing desire to flee the eye of the public and the Capitol. Oftentimes, Katniss' depression and guilty conscience transcends the bounds of sappy. Her soap opera scenes with a soot-covered Gale really push the limits, saved if only by the undeniable grace and charisma of star Lawrence at every step along the way of this film. So it's sappy, but never too sappy.
In fact, Catching Fire is a masterpiece of pushing limits as far as they'll extend before the point of diminishing returns. Director Francis Lawrence maintains an ambiance that lends to emotional investment but never imposes too much realism as to drip into territories of grit. All of Catching Fire lives in a dreamlike state, a stark contrast to Hunger Games' guttural, grimacing quality that robbed it of the life force Suzanne Collins pumped into her first novel.
Once we get to the thunderdome, our engines are effectively revved for the "fun part." Katniss, Peeta, and their array of allies and enemies traverse a nightmare course that seems perfectly suited for a videogame spin-off. At this point, we've spent just enough time with the secondary characters to grow a bit fond of them — deliberately obnoxious Finnick, jarringly provocative Johanna, offbeat geeks Beedee and Wiress — but not quite enough to dissolve the mystery surrounding any of them or their true intentions (which become more and more enigmatic as the film progresses). We only need adhere to Katniss and Peeta once tossed in the pit of doom that is the 75th Hunger Games arena, but finding real characters in the other tributes makes for a far more fun round of extreme manhunt.
But Catching Fire doesn't vie for anything particularly grand. It entertains and engages, having fun with and anchoring weight to its characters and circumstances, but stays within the expected confines of what a Hunger Games movie can be. It's a good one, but without shooting for succinctly interesting or surprising work with Katniss and her relationships or taking a stab at anything but the obvious in terms of sending up the militant tyrannical autocracy, it never even closes in on the possibility of being a great one.
3.5/5

Diane Keaton is planning an American remake of British TV drama Last Tango In Halifax. The Annie Hall star has acquired the rights to the BBC romantic drama and will shoot a U.S. version for cable TV channel HBO.
The original programme, about two 70-year-olds rekindling a childhood romance via Facebook, stars Derek Jacobi and Anne Reid, but it is unclear if 67-year-old Keaton plans to take a role in the remake herself.
The drama's writer Sally Wainwright broke the news during a Broadcasting Press Guild lunch in London on Monday (28Oct13) and confirmed she will have an associate producer role in the remake but does not expect to be closely involved.
Last Tango in Halifax was one of the BBC's best performing new shows of 2012 and a second series is set to start in the U.K. next month (Nov13) with a third already planned.

Comedy rock act Spinal Tap are planning a comeback in 2014. Co-founder Christopher Guest, who performs as guitarist Nigel Tufnel, has revealed he and bandmates David St. Hubbins and Derek Smalls are "in the midst of talking about something for next year" in a new article in Britain's The Guardian.
Guest admits he still can't believe the group he formed with pals Harry Shearer and Michael McKean three decades ago for the mockumentary This is... Spinal Tap has become a cult act around the globe, performing at the greatest venues, including the Pyramid Stage at the Glastonbury festival in England in 2009.
He adds, "It was a fantastic show. There were 130,000 people there or something. Since the film 30 years ago we've gone on tour, playing Wembley, the Albert Hall, Carnegie Hall… It's weird but great. The fiction became real."
